You’ll Get Chills Hearing Stevie Nicks’ New Women’s Rights Anthem

Stevie Nicks has logged on. The icon dropped “The Lighthouse,” a stellar anthem for women’s rights.

Co-written with Magnus Birgersson and Vincent Villuis, the track opens with Nicks’ vocals and subtle instrumentation, before unfurling into a full-blown cathartic rocker. “I have my scars/You have yours,” she sings. “Don’t let them take your power.”

In the powerful video below, Nicks stands inside a lighthouse, surrounded by iconic Stevie imagery (white doves and gothic candelabras) accompanied by female protest signs. Soon she fronts a powerful crowd of women on a turbulent beach, charging forward.

“I wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned ,” Nicks said in a statement. “It seemed like overnight, people were saying ‘What can we, as a collective force, do about this?’ For me, it was to write a song. It took a while because I was on the road. Then early one morning, I was watching the news on TV and a certain newscaster said something that felt like she was talking to me — explaining what the loss of Roe v. Wade would come to mean. I wrote the song the next morning and recorded it that night.”

She continued: “That was Sept. 6, 2022. I have been working on it ever since. I have often said to myself, ‘This may be the most important thing I ever do.’ To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters — and the men that love them. This is an anthem.”

“The Lighthouse” marks Nicks’ first new music since her 2022 cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “ For What It’s Worth. ” On Oct. 12, she’ll appear as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live , alongside Ariana Grande as host. It marks her first time on the sketch-comedy show since 1983.

Earlier this month, Nicks praised Taylor Swift’s viral post endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, posting a similar photo that featured a dog instead of a cat. “As my friend @taylorswift13 so eloquently stated, now is the time to research and choose the candidate that speaks to you and your beliefs,” she wrote. She concluded the message with a cheeky dig at J.D. Vance, signing it “Childless Dog Lady.”
